Declarations for July 2022
Seven (7) is said to be a number of completion and it was symbolic in ancient near eastern and Israelite culture and literature. It communicates a sense of “fullness” or “completeness” so decree and declare with me, that in this Seventh (7th) month of the year 2022;
- Our good Lord Who has begun a good work in us will bring it to completion.
- We will not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old because God is doing a new thing in our lives.
- He is making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert for us.
- We will not see the rain or feel the wind but our valleys will be filled with water.
- The Lord has heard our prayers and requests and He is hastening it in this season.
- We will see the goodness of the Lord every morning.
- His presence will go before us like a cloud in the day and a pillar of fire in the night.
- The works of our hands are blessed and everything we touch will be multiplied.
- All our pursuits in life will be connected to His purpose.
- He will glorify Himself in every area of our lives.
We declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN! Happy Independence Day to you all!

He Gave Us HONOR
I heard from my mentor that you can respect yourself but you cannot HONOR yourself. Honor is bestowed upon you and that is what the resurrecting power of our Lord and Father Jesus Christ did for us. He gave us honor according to Revelations 5:12 AMP, “Worthy and deserving is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
Honor I learned is the discerning, celebrating and placing value on individuals for their uniqueness. Jesus Christ through His resurrection conferred upon us different gifts and talents to bless the body of Christ and the kingdom of God. Each of us carries a special gift that is needed and we need to see that and celebrate each other for what we are able to contribute to His kingdom. In 1 Peter 2:17 KJV, He commands us to ”Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.” He further commands us through the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:10 ESV, to “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor”
In so many ways we have not shown honor to people, maybe we didn’t know that we are commanded to honor both the least and the greatest person we know. This is our opportunity to start sowing a seed of HONOR in everyone we encounter. By doing so, we will be honoring the Lord in fulfilling His word and command. Henry L. Stimson said “Honor begets Honor”. In other words, if you give honor, it will reproduce honor in your life as well. Let’s celebrate what God is doing in the lives of the people around us. AMEN!

He Gave Us MIGHT
The Fourth blessing bestowed upon us believers through the resurrection power of Jesus is ‘MIGHT’.
Revelations 5:12 AMP, “Worthy and deserving is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” MIGHT is “the ability to exert effort”. Having power is great but not having the ability to exert the power is fruitless. Our Father knowing this, did not only give us power, but He also gave us the ability (MIGHT) to accomplish anything and everything He has destined for us.
The Bible describes our God as the ALMIGHTY - meaning He has ALL the ability to do what He says He will do. There’s no living creature that is ALMIGHTY, only our Father Jesus Christ is. Revelation 1:8 ESV confirms this nature of our Father:
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
This is the Father we have - the all capable GOD! Whatever that is happening in your life that looks like a challenge or mockery of the power and might of Jesus Christ, take your stand and remind yourself and the kingdom of darkness that your Father is a mighty one and can and will save you. AMEN!
